Bar Keepers Friend® Cleanser & Polish: 12 OZ

I use this stuff for almost everything. Cleaning sinks, bathtubs, toilets, calphalon pans, stainless steel pans, my grill, stainless steel anything, silverware, the kitchen sink, and best of all is the glass in our shower. I have tried EVERYTHING to get the hard water spots off of our shower glass, but CLR and Lime Away didn''t do the job. I found this and BAM! With minimal scrubbing I was able to make my shower glass crystal clear. I''ve gotten so many hooked on this stuff and they keep telling me new uses for it.

UPDATE: (January 19th 2011) This stuff is still amazing, but be aware that this is an acid and can eat through things if left on too long or not cleaned. ALSO, this is an abrasive! DO NOT USE IT ON CHEAP CHROME PLATING as I used this on a cheap shower trinket to get the soap off of and the chrome began to crack, flake and the metal rusted (this goes back to it being a strong acid). ALSO, I''m a man who is not a big fan and do not condone the use of men using "Moisturizer". Using this stuff on bare hands can dry the hands out as it cleans them a bit too well. I tend to protect my delicate.. I mean manly hands with nitrile gloves. ALSO, do not leave the chemical on stainless too long. It will blotch it white if left on TOO long. My guess is that it eats at ferrous metals or possibly the chromium content.

We had a red stain in the kitchen sink. I went to Home Depot and grabbed this stuff because it was $1.79. I take it home and use it on the sink, it got the stain out. The next day I decided to use it on the tub. Keep in mind that the tub was from the 1920''s and it looked like it, it was gray in color. So I put a little BKF on the tub and started scrubbing. That''s when I got irritated with it because the gray on the tub turned to slime and started to come off and reveal the white of the porcelain. I hate cleaning the tub and usually put as minimal effort into cleaning it. But I knew that the tub would look awesome totally white again. I probably cleaned off scum from at least 40 years of tenants prior to us. This product rocks.

Here is a tip. I use it on my ceramic tile in the entire bathroom. The tip is to use a green scrubby pad and lightly wet it. Put the BKF on the pad and put it all over the tile. It will be slightly sudsy. Leave it on and let it dry till it looks like chalk all over your tile. Take a dry terrycloth towel and wipe it off. Your tile will look like a mirror!

Its funny how through creative marketing products that actually work like this one get lost. People end up buying less effective products because they smell nice. Then the younger generations get a hold of products like BKF and think its the greatest thing since sliced bred, only to find out that our grandparents have been using it for decades.

I live in Seattle WA. Since our waters are different from State to State, I thought I should mention that. I moved into this new house 5 years ago, and since then shower glass doors became dull and dim due to hard water stain. As we all know, cleaning the hard water stain from shower glass door is almost impossible! Like many, I have tried many, many cleaners: CLR, Lime-Away, Windex, Oxyclean, etc... But they did not remove hard water stains. Until I tried Bar Keepers Friend (BKF). Since it was less than two dollars, I thought I would give it a try. And wow!!! It works!! My shower glass door is clean and looks new! My wife was shocked!!!

But here is how you do it (steps 1-6 should take about 10-15mins):

1. Get a window scrubber that will clean tough stains (not sponges). I found one in Home Depot.

2. Wet the shower glass door with water.

3. Apply BKF directly to a wet glass scrubber.

4. Then apply it to shower glass door.

5. Scrub in a circular motion, then side to side and up and down.

6. Rinse the shower glass door thoroughly.

7. REPEAT the process (1-6) next 4 days.

Step 7 is important. You will not see the radical difference right away. I saw the difference in two days. But after four days, the shower glass door looks brand new. It is worth it!

BKF = less than $2.00

Scrubber = $4.00

A Joy of seeing the incredibly clean shower glass door = priceless

Well, OK, you can''t take a bath in it or use it on delicate surfaces like finished wood and nonstick cookware, but for just about any hard nonporous material, it''s the cleaner to reach for.

It''s the Fountain of Youth for your stainless steel cookware, removing rainbow heat marks and mineral discoloration with minimal elbow grease. Used with a lighter touch, it makes your heirloom Corning Ware original Pyroceram cookware sparkle like the day Mom bought it. Ditto for Pyrex and Anchor Hocking glass ovenware, as well as stoneware slow cookers. I use it to clean those little specks off the window in the oven door after a self-cleaning cycle. The window''s as clear as the day they delivered the stove.

If you''re a fan of unlined copper bowls for beating egg whites, you already know about tarnish. A couple minutes with some Bar Keeper''s Friend, and that copper bowl is ready for another batch of meringue or Belgian waffles.

OMG This stuff is great! I have some super expensive cookware and you can''t just clean it with anything. The manufacturer suggested to use white vinegar to remove spots and other such discolorations to keep it looking new. The vinegar didn''t work at all. I used BKF and what a difference it made. All I had to do was sprinkle a little on a moist surface, use a paper towel and work in circular motions forming a paste. After about 30 seconds I rinsed it off and it was like new! Every piece I have used it on now looks like new. I will always use BKF on my pots.

I also used it on my stainless steel sink, it removed scratches a roommate made by cutting something on the corner (instead of using a cutting board). And the sink has a wonderful shine to it. I haven''t gone much farther than the kitchen but I will venture in other areas of the home and outside. (This stuff is supposed to remove rust, I believe it will!)
